Fitness Friday

What's one thing you can do lower your stress levels? Believe it or not, EAT BREAKFAST!!! A hormone, cortisol, is at it's highest in the morning. This hormone contributes to stress. When we eat first thing in the morning cortisol decreases and we feel less stressed out for the rest of the day. Not to mention eating breakfast will increase your metabolism because it immediately fires it up first thing in the morning and keeps it higher for the rest of the day. Plus breakfast foods are delicious! So do something good for yourself and grab a great breakfast in the morning.

This is a great post and I agree with you!! I used to go without breakfast 'to lost weight' and it just piled on. Now that I eat a big breakfast, it has quit piling on but it still isn't coming off! DARN!
